Crib Sets - Everything You Need For Your Newborn to Sleep Soundly From Day One

The best cot newborn crib sets come with everything you require for your baby to sleep peacefully from day one. They are already shrunk and machine washable. They are designed to fit snugly on the mattress without bunching - a major safety risk for babies.

One parent testigator said that she used hers for two babies and then passed it on to a different friend. This made it a good investment. Its sleek design makes it a great option for nurseries with minimalist designs.

Bedding

There are plenty of choices when it comes to bedding for your crib. However, picking the right bedding is more than just selecting a cute pattern that will fit your style. You must also find something that fits tightly and doesn't clump up in places where it could pose a danger of suffocation for your baby. It must also be soft to the touch and durable enough to stand up to months of diaper blowouts and spit-up spills without wearing out too quickly.

This set from Avocado is one of our favorites. It contains two sheets made of 100% certified organic GOTS cotton. The fabrics are MADE SAFE certified, a non-responsible third party certification that ensures that the company's products meet the highest standards of quality and safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk to ensure that they won't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit a standard crib (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). They're also machine-washable for the inevitable mess your little baby is bound to make.

Another great option for infants and toddlers is crib mattress pads, which adds an extra layer of comfort while also protecting the mattress against accidents and stains. Choose mattress pads that are less than an inch thick so your child can still breathe easily. And steer clear of things that are too soft or is adorned with long ribbons, bows and other adornments that can detach and pose the risk of strangulation.

You should consider buying a convertible crib if you intend to keep your child in the crib for a long period of time. These small cot beds usually convert to a toddler bed, and sometimes to a daybed or full-size bed as well. Some cribs include the conversion kits, while others require a purchase.

This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 Sleigh crib is among our top picks. It's made of solid wood and features one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about getting on a low mattress). We also love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it complies with stringent environmental standards to reduce off-gassing.

Mattress

Size and firmness are essential when it comes to crib mattress. The AAP suggests using a firm mattress that fits snugly and does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress should also be the proper size for the crib and it should stay in place--even after your baby gets out of it.

Additionally, you'll need to determine if the mattress is made from chemicals that could potentially harm your child. Choose mattresses that are odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which often emit an unpleasant chemical smell. A good indication is a CertiPUR US certificate that certifies that the mattress's foam is free of ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead and other heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates, which are regulated by Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

Other things to consider include how much the mattress carries and whether it's waterproof or not. You'll likely be dealing with changes to sheets at night So a waterproof or wipeable surface will make cleaning easier. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the largest product we tested, weighing at 20 pounds. This may be a major issue for certain parents.

Another important thing to consider is if the mattress is dual-sided. Some have a firm infant side and an easy toddler side. Pediatricians advise flipping your child's mattress when they reach the peak of normal growth. This usually occurs about 12 months old.

We measured the mattresses and then observed how they could be folded easily to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also placed the weight of 8 pounds which was slightly heavier than the weight of a newborn baby on each mattress to determine how it reacts. The best mattresses did not sink, which means they provide enough support to prevent your child from falling off or being suffocated in bed. Some of the mattresses we tested have covers that can be washed and removed that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning them and maintaining them a breeze.

Crib Rails

A crib can't be complete without a set of rails fixed. Some baby furniture companies offer baby rails as part of the crib. Others offer them separately. If you opt to buy them separately, search for rails that meet the safety requirements. They should, for instance be free of loose or missing screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should be sturdy enough to withstand your child's weight, but not too thin. They should also be secured in a secure way so that they can't be removed from your child.

The crib rails must not only be strong, but also fit snugly within the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from being too fragile, which could be unsafe for your child. When purchasing crib rails, make sure to measure the inside of the frame, as there are slight variations in crib sizes. Ideally, the space should not be more than three fingers wide.

You should also make sure that the crib rails do not have any decorative cutouts or other embellishments. These can pose an suffocation threat. Avoid placing pillows, quilts or blankets in the crib. They can result in a dangerous accumulation of carbon dioxide increasing the risk of SIDS for your baby. Consider a crib pad and cover for a comfortable sleeping mattress for your baby. These products are made up of a waterproof mattress pad and a fitted "skirt" that can be positioned around the mattress just like the fitted sheet.

You'll also want to make sure that you have the right crib rail guards. They are designed to protect the head of your child when it comes into contact with the crib railings while you're feeding him or her or cradling them next to the bed. They can also stop teeth marks and drool staining on the crib's fixed side railings.

Once your infant outgrows the crib, you'll need a toddler guard rail to keep your child safe in their bed until they're ready for a bigger bed for their child. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that is compatible with all cribs that are standard. It's easy to install and meets CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Certain aspects of the crib's design are solely aesthetic or are dependent on personal preference, but others--such as the style of slats or whether the crib converts to an adult bed--can have a significant impact on the ease of use and how long the crib will last. The best cribs feature solid wood construction, meet numerous safety standards, and are easily adaptable to various mattress heights. Some cribs feature special features that make them more efficient. For example the Quick Zip Crib Sheet lets you replace the sheets without removing the entire mattress.

Avoid cribs beds that have decorative cutouts, or other accessories that could catch on clothing or pose a risk of choking for infants. Check the crib hardware for loose bolts, as well as other items that could get caught on clothing or objects.

The most effective crib sets come with easy-to-follow directions and all the essential components, including hardware. Most modern cribs take a half hour or less to put together, and many include all the equipment you'll need.

Think about a convertible crib that can be converted into a daybed, toddler or full-size mattress. It's a good buy for families that plan to keep the crib for many years or have little space in their homes. It is important to know that some crib conversion kit require additional purchases in order to complete the process.

It can be difficult to understand crib hardware, but it is vital to ensure security and stability. Most cribs have a system of rectangular block, wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks, also known as step chocks. They are all designed to tighten up contact points between crib and the supported surface.

Some shims and chocks are made from soft woods that crack slowly, and can give audible warnings prior to failure as more robust wood materials can break up suddenly and with greater force. Shims and chocks made of plastic can also be purchased. They are easier to install since they do not require drilling into the surface.
